Transcriptional analysis of Mycobacterium fortuitum cultures upon hydrogen peroxide treatment using the novel standard rrn A-P1

Table 1 Promoter regions of the sod A, kat GII and fur AII genes of M. fortuitum

(a) Location of the promoters of the sod A, kat GII and fur AII genes of M. fortuitum. Abbreviations: P: promoter; -10 box and -35 box: putative -10 and -35 boxes; tsp (+1): transcription start point.
(b) Alignment of the AT-rich sequences upstream of the fur A genes in mycobacteria. The -35 boxes of M. tuberculosis and M. smegmatis [33] and the -10 box of M. fortuitum are underlined. The tsp+1 nucleotide of the P2 promoter of the fur AII gene of M. fortuitum is bolded.
